Allergic reaction???

[gixer1]

Wife’s springer spaniel pup (17 weeks) has the below rash/sores around her teat. We only noticed it today. Could it be an allergic reaction to fungus spores?? We have the vet first thing tomorrow but just wanted to see if anyone else has seen it as it looks like there are red blotches on her inside thigh too.

not sure whether or not to bath her to help it tonight?

regards,
Gixer

From some reading it sounds very like pyoderma and appears to be common in pups.

Puppy zits!! Nothing to worry about, although they can be itchy adn can get big. They'll almoast certainly go as she gets older (classically gone by first season). Even if you give antibiotics, they'll come back.
Don't pop them....

Wheat free low allergen diet helps

My GWP pup suffered it in his first year and not as bad in his second year, looks like pyoderma the vet gave him a course of anti biotics and they helped , vet called it teenage acne in dogs. A wheat free diet also helped and no lasting effects , hope all goes well at the vets.

Ours still tend to get them (boys and girls) if they beat through bracken/bramble/crop then get into ditches/water, no matter how well we wash them off. Bath with Maluseb and no picking has always done the trick
